...Dr. Patricia Jenkins Financial Data Analysis Financial management is an important aspect of health care financing. Whether for a hospital, medical group, or home care agency, long-term or short-term finance, maintaining accurate asset management records could mean the difference in failure or success for many organizations.

...I. PROBLEM City Hospital Supplies, Inc. is faced with the means to develop the Philippine market for the three product lines of Sneider Company for its startup operations. II. SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS • Limited liability of owners The shareholders are not personally liable for corporate acts and debts. This means that in case of liquidation of the company, if the company's assets are insufficient to meet the liability, nothing is required to be contributed by the owners. Only the owners' contribution is at stake rather than their personal assets. • Raising capital is easy as approved by stockholders The company’s form of business organization, corporation, makes possible the raising of large amounts of money from large number of persons. As for City Hospital Supplies, Inc., four other friends of the incorporators would be invited to put in token investments in the firm. • Exclusive distributorship agreement with Sneider Company The company had just been awarded the exclusive distributorship in the Philippines for the Sneider line of hospital supplies by the Regional Marketing Director for Asia of the Sneider Company based in West Germany. An agreement followed after months of negotiations. This is an advantage over other companies in the Philippines. • Good pricing strategy Positioning the Sneider lines about 15-20% lower than the competition would help capture a major share of local market. • Location...

...assembling each J-42. This experimentation seemed successful, so Kincade proceeded to prepare some estimates for large-scale J-42 production. Kincade determined the following : 1. A local toolmaker would make the new fixtures for a price of $900 each. One fixture would be needed for each assembly worker 2. Assembly workers were readily available, on either a full time or part time basis, at a wage of $6,75 per hour. Kincade felt that another 20% of wages would be necessary for fringe benefits. Kincade estimated that on the average (including rest breaks), a worker could assemble, test, and pack 15 units of the J-42 per hour 3. Purchased components fort the J-42 should cost about $1.53 per nit over the next year. Shipping supplies and delivery costs would amount to approximately $0.09 per unit 4. Suitable space was available for assembly operations at a rental of $1,080 per month. A 12-moth lease was required 5. Assembly tables,...

...of incomplete voiding and hesitancy causing the bladder to remain full and requires a catheter for drainage. Urinary incontinence and retention are the 2 main reasons why personal urinals are used. The biggest issues dealing with personal urinals both in hospital and public settings are the embarrassingly disgusting odors left from residue urine and more importantly the potentially dangerous bacteria and viruses that could reside on your urinal. We at Mario Medical, Inc. offer a solution to male and female urinal users with the Uri-mist. The Uri-mist is a portable personal urinal that has a built in spray mist system on the cap. This product is used like a normal urinal, where a user fills the urinal with urine content. When finished the urinal must be emptied and cleaned. The old process was to empty the urinal contents in the toilet, and then rinse the urinal out with water which will be disposed in the toilet. At this point some users are finished cleaning such as hospitals in most cases and those with dexterity issues while others use a more sterile method by cleaning the urinal with disinfectant or bleach mix that they have separately from the urinal to kill bacteria and viruses. We at Mario Medical, Inc. feel this process takes too long and might not be feasible for every user who wants a sanitized urinal. With the Uri-mist, after the user rinse the urinal with water, the user then can close the cap on the urinal. Once the cap is securely on the user then...

...Part A: Cost concerns at Dialysis Dialysis Assistance is a full-service dialysis clinic for patients with kidney problems. Typically these patients cannot be cured, but they can maintain their current quality of life by a dialysis treatment. There are two types of patients, the hemodialysis patients (HD) and the peritoneal dialysis patients (PD). The HD-patients need more intensive monitoring. They visit the hospital three times a week where their blood is cleansed with a specialized dialyzer machine. Alternatively PD-patients are treated at home (once a week) via easier techniques that use standard supplies. This treatment is monitored by staff-visits of ‘Dialysis Assistance Inc.’. The following information is available with regard to these treatments. TOT HD PD Treatments 12.000 8.000 4.000 Direct Costs (supplies) $860.000 $550.000 $310.000 General overhead $1.170.000 ? ? Currently there is a discussion going on about cost allocation. Using the number of treatments as allocation base is one option that most hospitals tend to use. Some hospitals use the direct cost base as an allocation base for overhead. Nevertheless, the alternative is a more detailed analysis of overhead: The general overhead for these treatments consists of two activities namely (1) nursing services (with skilled A-level and lower skilled B-level staff) and (2) specialized dialyzes machine activity. Full-time equivalents and the % of machine usage are potential allocation bases. Following data...

...Analysis - Owens and Minor, Inc. 1.1) What are the services rendered by the distributor to manufacturers and hospitals? Owens and Minor Inc. is a dominant distribution company that distributes medical and surgical supplies to hospitals, integrated health care systems and group purchasing organizations. It takes on the financial risk of owning and managing inventory for customers. It tracks and verifies their customer’s prices. In addition, O&M supplies customer usage and sales numbers, market trends, buying patterns and product penetration to manufacturers. 1.2) How has the nature of distribution changed over time? In the mid1980s hospitals joined together to gain more control of supply costs. They began carrying less inventories and demand more services from distributors without paying more, which led to the consolidations of distributors as well. Customers wanted the distributors to package the products in smaller units and shipped them directly to nursing and surgical units. They also placed smaller orders more frequently. This new trend shifted some of inventory related costs to distributors. Companies like O&M had a hard time find a way to price these new complex services for each individual account. They underpriced services and some customers such as those with stockless system were unprofitable for the companies. 1.3) How is O&M different from other distributors? O&M decided to focus solely on distributing medical and surgical supplies while many of its competitors...

...University of Phoenix Operations Management OPS/571 Professor Peter Wilms January 14, 2015 Telehealth Services With health care costs rising many consumers, and small employers are struggling to afford their health insurance premiums.

...Many people don’t realize the importance of medical supplies and technology. Medical technology has advanced in many ways throughout the hospital. The distribution of medical supplies is in high demand daily. Medical supplies take care of the little things such as cleaning a wound or big things such as performing a surgery. The advances in medical technology make it easier to perform difficult surgeries. In the early 1970s laparoscopic surgery was first introduced. It is a technique that enables a doctor to insert miniature camera and light to see the inside of the body while performing a medical procedure. The advanced technology available for use today allows magnification of the surgery site up to 20 times its actual size. This allows the doctor to see internal organs rather than two-dimensional that’s required on a regular monitor (Allenbaugh). Another medical advancing surgical technique involves heart disease. Due to genetics, fatty acids can build up in the arterial walls of a heart. A technique, very similar to laparoscopy, has been established. A surgeon inserts a tube into the person up to their artery blockage. On the end of a tube is a “balloon-like” device that increased blood flow through the artery (Allenbaugh)....
